About the Carradice brand

Carradice have been making saddlebags and panniers for more than 70 years. In the early 1930's Wilf Carradice first made a saddlebag for himself and discovered it was far better than anything else available. Friends soon asked for copies. By the end of the 30's Carradice were making tents, rucksacks, sleeping bags and jackets too. Throughout the 40's and 50's their bags were the choice of every hard riding tourist or club rider. By the 70's Wilf was wanting to retire and to pass the firm's experience and reputation onto someone who would continue to produce bags to the same exacting standards. Fortunately Neville Chadwick, a keen cyclist saw the potential for quality made cycle bags and took the company on. Demand again began to outstrip the production facilities and two moves to larger premises followed. All Carradice bags are made in their factory in Nelson which is still in family hands. A large proportion of bags (especially the traditional cotton duck ones) are exported around the world with a particularly strong following in the Denmark, Germany and the USA. In the last twenty years Carradice kit has probably been the choice of more worldwide cycling expeditions than any other.

Nice bag
Have traveled with painers and on sagged trips previously but I wanted to give lightweight touring a go. This bag handled all the gear I would need to go indefinitely in a developed area. Layers, change of clothes, repair tools, cell phone charger, etc. Coupled with a small front rack that my sleeping bag and bivy were strapped to I just returned from a 5 day tour down the Pacific Coast of California.
The bag is sturdy and very classy, kept my gear safe and dry, and was simple and functional. I used a standard sized bagman which fit my size 55cm frame with a bit more clearance between the rear tire and bag.

Good quality, good looking product.
Only problem was fitting this bag to my bike.
Having already fitted Carradice Cyclo Loops to the rails of my Selle Italia saddle I found that the fixing straps on the bag are too far apart for this saddle which made fitting difficult..

Excellent for commuter
Very well made, works well for my commute to work. Fits slacks, shirt, socks and undies, coffee cup, plus tools, tubes, other stuff. Plenty of room for whatever I've needed.
I also bought the bagman expedition support, but one of the quick release skewers fell out somehow; so I have to get that figured out.

Good well made bag, large enough for a days mride.
A useful bag, side pockets good for tools , spare tube etc. OK if your saddle has loops, my Brooks saddle has, but saddle clamp required if not. Like the idea of the dowel to support the weight.

Browse Wiggle for the Carradice bagman support. You may need the one which has the eyelets beneath the saddle rear as some Brooks do. Other than that, Carradice have a fabulous phone line and contact which can answer all your questions really easily and what's more cheerfully.

I have my Nelson bag attached to the loops, not the rails) of a B17 narrow with 2 leather straps (supplied with the bag). My bag sits on a Carradice Bagman support and the third leather strap lower down ties to that.
